A LAST GLANCE.
How Should she Have Been Dealt
With2
From the Hartford Co,.rnnt.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-An incident, by
the way, occurred at a theatre recently in
the presence of your correspondent that is
rather characteristic of certain class of
the denizens of this great city. 1t was at
the performance of a certain exceedingly
popular play, and from gallery to pit every
place was taken, the aisles were thronged
so that passage was impossible, and the only
free space was the steps, which by law are
prohibited to be used as seats. In the midst
of the performance rather pretty blondish
woman, with faded air, worked her way
through the crowd, and walking the length
of the orchestra chairs, seated herself on
the lowest step, that of the front row of
balcony chairs An usher soon fought his
way to her requesting her to rise, explaining
that it was against the law to permit any
one to occupy that place The woman said
something in a low voice that so startled
the box opener that he at once went away.
with pale face and flashing eyes. In few
moments he returned, accompanied by some
one of the management, and they renewed
the conversation. AT last the woman rose
half way up from the step and repeated
what she lit afterward proved had been
saying to them since she was first requested
to move: eff you say one word to me about
getting up from here / will cry Fire and
then the play viii end and all these people
be crushed to death" OF course, there was
nothing to do about it but let her stay. She
held the lives of hundreds of people in her
hands. II she had been seized and taken
out she would have cried fire till they could
gag her. When the two men left her she
settled herself comfortably on the step, and
for the rest of the play seemed absorbed in
the performance.

THE PRECIOUS DRUG.

Without word she took the coin, entered
abe shop, spoke to the sleepy night clerk,
who retired to the mysterious back room to
be found in all well-appointed apothecary
shops, and presently re-appeared with a
small chunk of dark brownish mass, which
he deity wrapped up in a bit of pinkish
paper, handed the parcel to Madge on pay
nent, and then with muttered good
night tossed the silver coin into the money
drawer and returned to his well-padded easy
chair, which was concealed by a showcase
crowded with a varied assortment of fancy
cut-glass bottles.
Madge thrust the precious parcel in the
pocket of her gown and started out for her
home A brisk 10 minutes walk, during
which she seemingly doubled on her previous
trail, and the 'tiend" halted before rum-
BILE down house situated on quiet side
street that lies but few squares from the
Western Police station. The half-visible
surroundings of Madge's place of residence
did not look particularly inviting, but as she
appeared to be perfectly familiar with the
place the reporter made no comment as she
led the way up the creaking stairs, fight
after fight until at last she stood on the
narrow landing of the fourth floor, and
before her was the door that opened into the
den of the "opium fiend."

HELP YOUR PREACHER.

You can help him by speaking
well of him and his work if he has
helped you tell him OF it. If he has
kindled loftier aspirations within
you, if he has given you noble con-
ceptionssQt lie and duty, if he has
quickened your conscience, if he
has solved your doubts, let him know
the fact. If a peculiar sermon has
fed your hungry soul, if he has help
ed you to be purer and more Christ
like, by all means do not be silent
about it, The disclosure will do
you and him gaetl-+ it VIII show him
how to be more helpful in the future.
Watch for what is good in his SER
mons and talk about it. Ask your
friends to come and hear him. IF
you never mention his name, or if
yeA sneef- when his name is men
toned, you will lower him in the es-
innate Of others. Do not find fault
with all he says and does. If he
does not call at your house in three
weeks do not say it was six months.
Il YOU are in good health and in good
circumstances you do not need his
care. The sick and the dying, the
poor and the bereaved, need his
daily attention.
A preacher is man of like pas
sions with ourselves, and there comes
in his experience when he needs sym
pathy and strength. You can ruin
him by carping at him perpetually
and by depreciating his character
and work. Or, you can increase his
influence hundred fold by speak
ing we'll of him.-Christian Stand

A POISONED LAKE.

In the southern part of George
town county, South Carolina, is a
large sheet of fresh water, known as
"Dawho lake, widely celebrated for
its grert quantity of excellent fish of
many varieties. About. ten days ago
terrific hail storm of several hours
duration passed over that section,
doing great damage to growing crops
and beating large quantities Of leaves
and limbs Of trees into the lake. A
few days after this storm the fish in
the lake began to appear by thou
sands upon the surface OF the water
in dying condition, the quantity in
creasing daily until now the entire
surface ofthe lake is literally cover
ed with dead fish. The wafer of this
lake has ALWAYS been Of whitish
color, clear, soft and pleasant to the
taste, but Immediately after the storm
it became as black as ink and as bit
ter as quinine in which condition it
has since continued. Alligators, coot-
ers and water moccasin snakes were
seen leaving the lake in large num-
bers. 1t is said that the fish would
approach the shore struggling, as if
anxious to get on land The stencil
arising from the great mass of decom-
posed fish is sickening, and the buzz
yards are holding high carnival This
strange phenomenon is attracting
great attention and hundreds of per-
sons are daily visiting the scene.
Dawho lake is about two miles long,
from two to FIVE hundred yards wide,
and varies ia depth from ten to thir-
ty feet. TIE adjacent lakes are not
affected.

THE SAVIOUES SENTENCE.
Notes aud Queries

A correspondent sends what he
believes to be a correct translation
of the sentence pronounced by Pom
thus PLATE on Christ. He says that
this curious document was discover
ed in A. d. 1880 in che city OF Aqrr
Ii in the Kingdom of Naples, in the
course of a search made for the dis
covery of Roman antiquities, and it
remained there until it was fonnd by
the commisarles OF art in the French
army Of italy. Up to the time Of the
campaign in Southern Italy it was
preserved in the sacristy of the Car
thusians, near Naples, where it was
kept in box of ebony. Since then
the relic has been kept in the Chap
elo Caserta. The Carthusians OBJ
tanned, by petition, leave that the
plate might be kept by them as an
acknowledgement of the sacrifice
which they had made for the French
army.
The French translation was made
literally by members of the commits
sion of art. Demon had a fac-simile
of the plate engraved, which, on the
sale of his cabinet, was bought by
Lord Howard for 1890 francs.

that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer
death by the cross. In the seven

peror of Iiberius, and on the 25th Of

attendant Of the province of Lower
Galilee, sitting in judgment in the
presidential chair of the Pretor, SEN

EFFECT OF THE EARTHS REVOLT.
TION.
Engineering News.

The following, from daily ex-
change, is a contribution to science
which ought to be better known TO
engineers than, according to the
best of our information and belief.
it is:
Would it be supposed that one
line of rails on a track is more worn
than the other? Such is the case,
however. Engineers soy that when
the track runs north and south, are
generally in that direction, the vest
erly rails are worn out sooner than
the easterly set, and that they stretch
or creep as they technically ex-
press it. The explanation give Of
this curious inequality is the sup
posed greater weight which is con-
stantly thrown on the westerly rail
by passing trains owing to the revo-
luton Of the earth on its axis from
east to west. In other words, the
earth $ movement tends to tilt the
train upon its westerly wheels"

AN ALMOST HUMAN APPEAL.
Baltimore Sun.

Edwin Emory, of East Baltimore,
had an experience of the sagacity of
the dog yesterday. On his way down
south Broadway a small dog ran up
to him, acting in a strange manner.
The little fellow jumped on him and
licked his hands and occasionally
snapped and whined- Thinking Of
-hydrophoh1a. Mr.. Emory kicked the
dog, which then ran in front of him,
and then posing in begging condf-
ton, began to beat the air with his
front legs. Mr.. Emory insisted on
having nothing to do with the dog,
but it repeated the act several times.
Finally just as he was going to knock
the persistent little bcggar with sGf-
&cient.visos to last for all time, Mr..
Emory discovered a large pin stick
ing in the foot of the dog, and with
humane instinct he took him in his
arms and pulled it out. AS soon as
relieved the dog manifested his
thanks by licking Mr.. Emory's hands
and then disappeared as fast as he
could.
